Courage Crowned with Conquest;OR,A brief Relation, how that Valiant Knight, and Heroick Champion Sir Eglamore, bravelyfought with, and manfully slew, a terrible, huge great Monstrous Dragon.To a pleasant new Tune.

SIr Eglamore that valiant Knightwith his fa, la, lanctre down dilie,He fetcht his sword and he went to fight;with his fa la lanctre, etc.As he went over hill and daleAll cloathed in his Coat of Male.with his fa la lanctre, etc.A huge great Dragon leapt out of his Denwith his fa la lanctre, etcWhich had killed the Lord knows how ma-ny menwith his fa la lanctre, etc.But when he saw Sir EglamoreGood lack had you seen how this Dragon did roarewith his fa la lanctre, etc.

This Dragon he had a plaguy hidewith his fa la lanctre, etc.Which could both sword and spear abidewith his fa la lanctre, etc.He could not enter with hacks and cutsWhich vext the Knight to the very hearts blood and guts,with his fa la lanctre, etc.All the Trees in the Wood did shakewith his fa la lanctre, etc.Stars did tremble, and men did quake,with his fa la lanctre, etc.But had you seen how the birds lay peeping'Twould have made a mans heart to fall a weepingwith his fa la lanctre, etc.

The second Part, To the same Tune.

But it was too late to fearwith his fa la lanctre, etc.For now it was come to fight Dog, fight Barewith his fa la lanctre, etc.And as a yawning he did fallHe thrust his Sword in hilt and all,with his fa la lanctre, etc.But now as the Knight in choler did burnwith his fa la lanctre, etc.He owed the Dragon a shrewd good turnwith his fa la lanctre, etc.In at his mouth his sword he bent,The hilt appeared at his fundament,with his fa la lanctre, etc.Then the Dragon like a coward began to flywith his fa la lanctre, etc.Unto his Den that was hard bywith his fa la lanctre, etc.And there he laid him down and roar'dThe Knight was vexed for his Swordwith a fa la lanctre, etc.

The Sword that was a right good Blade,with his fa la lanctre, etc.As ever Turk or Spaniard made.with his fa la lanctre, etc.I for my part do forsake itAnd he that will fetch it, let him take itwith his fa la lanctre, etc.When all this was done, to the Ale-house he wentwith his fa la lanctre, etc.And by and by his two pence he spentwith his fa la lanctre, etc.For he was so hot with tugging with the DragonThat nothing would quench him but a whole Flaggon.with his fa la lanctre, etc.Now God preserve our King and Queen,with his fa la lanctre, etc.And eke in London may be seen,with his fa la lanctre, etc.As many Knights, and as many more,And all so good as Sir Eglamore.with his fa la, langtre down dilly.
